I think for your nest mobo purchase you should stick with the brands that are known to overclock well on.

Abit and Soyo come to mind, although there are a few others. How are you sure that this specific CPU will even make it to 133? That's a pretty big jump, I'm kinda doubting as to if it'll make it. If you had it in a board that it did 133, why isn't it in this board now?

Better case cooling _usually_ doesn't net you any higher fsb speeds. It's only really useful if you system will make it to a speed, only to crash a few hours later as heat builds up. Of course having good airflow won't hurt anything, but I don't think you wanna spend money/time on something that isn't gonna get you what you want.

The best solution for O/C'ing is not to do it at all, especially if your system is a prebuilt machine or its built from parts from a big, well known dealer and its still under guarantee/warranty. If you O/C and something screws up big time, and you take it back and say it died, if its a big firm, then chances are they are gonna have a full-on testing rig, and they will know what caused the problem to arise.

Trust me on that, I've warned friends about it, and they didnt listen, then when their parts screwed up under guarantee/warranty and they tried to get replacements, the companies said basically "Screw you, you overclocked it to unsafe speeds, you aint gettin jack from us". People learn from their mistakes, its true, but to never have to make the mistake to learn from, you're a better off person.

Never had a problem with that because I got my computer from a very small company and only had to RMA the power box and the old fried MB. They took it without blinking.

Thanks for the additional advice, I plan on getting an ABIT MB in my next 'puter. I will look into the RAM clock speed settings thing and see what I can do about that. The CPU should be able to handle 133, it's made it there before in a different rig.

Just your generic meaningless signature. Mix with 2 quarts water and stir till evenly coated.

what was different in the p3-500 rig? im thinking it was a different motherboard.. or maybe you have other cards in your p3-450 rig that arent in the p3-500 rig.. remember when u push the FSB up like that the agp clock gets messed did they both have the same video card? some cards can't handle an overclocked AGP bus verywell *cough nVdia cough* also u might wanna try cooling the chipset if it's a BX chipset.. it wasnt rated for anything over 100mhzFSB. Hope this helps..
